Evening Stroll

Each day after sunset 
I take an evening stroll
In awe of God's creations 
His wonders to extol

As the hours are waning
I retrieve my parasol
Tripping lightly through the glen
Such beauty does enthrall

Mesmerized by nature
The air so fresh and crisp
I view the golden sunset
And see a Will O' the Wisp

Sitting proudly on a rosebud
Is a gilded butterfly
Snowy white clouds billowing
Against an azure sky

A kaleidoscope of colors
Is emblazoned overhead
Where a gentle summer rain
Left a rainbow in its stead

By a pool of crystal water
I pause to rest awhile
Looking at my reflection
I see a contented smile

Surrounded by God's artistry
Resplendent in its display
I promise to return again
For tomorrow is another day
